HTC Flyer shows up on HTCSense.com Canadian section

By on May 9, 2011 at 8:38pm in HTC, Mobile News


HTC officially announced that they’ll start selling their first tablet called the Flyer “to customers globally during Q2 2011″. There was no confirmed release date for Canada but one of our tipsters stated back in February that this Gingerbread 2.4 powered Android might be heading to TELUS (will be upgraded to OS 3.0 Honeycomb). The Flyer has been silent ever since.

Taking a quick look at HTCSense.com Canadian section tonight revealed a bit of a treat as the Flyer has been added in their drop down menu, which has proven to be a good indication of an upcoming launch. The last time we saw a device pop up on HTCSense.com was with the TELUS Desire HD and it only took 2 months for this to officially be released… so we could possibly see a Canadian Summertime launch of the Flyer.

Notable specs of the Flyer have it coming with a a 7-inch touchscreen display (resolution of 1024×600), 1.5GHz Qualcomm single-core processor, 1GB of RAM, 5 megapixel camera with auto-focus and a 1.3 megapixel front facing camera and WiFi.

  3. I don’t get why htc is so confidential about their plans, like if you don’t tell us were going to go ahead and get the next best thing…… If I were to get a tablet I would have gotten the Transformer 2 weeks ago.

  4. It doesn’t ship with 3.0 and it’s not dual core… Nuff said. I’m a huge HTC fan but I won’t be buying this tablet.

  6. I love Android, and love my HTC Legend, but I’ve seen Android 2.x on the Galaxy Tab and it looks horrible. I really hope Google gets their act together because Honeycomb doesn’t impress me.

  7. It could work as a low end or introductory tablet. The key is going to be the price point. Under $300 and it might have a chance. Any more, and it’s too close to iPad territory to be competitive.

  8. If the flyer is like 350$ or 400$ I would consider it. But otherwise I should just get something else.

  11. I have a flyer and its great, its the perfect size for everything. I don’t use my iconia or iPad’s at all anymore. As for a comparison to the galaxy tab its not even in the same league its quicker than my iconia (or the zoom, galaxy 10.1 I owned them and returned)

    As for running gingerbread,HTC has confirmed it will be getting the upgrade soon but I really don’t care, it is a great device as is maybe ice cream sandwich will be the upgrade to change my mind. I don’t know what the hold up getting it to Canada is but i highly recommed it.
